Edward Lovinger, professor of psychology at UNLV, taught from 1968 until 1993. Prior to his tenure at UNLV, he worked for the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis and for its spinoff company, the System Development Corporation (SDC), as a member of their management team. He received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Michigan State University, but during his years at RAND and SDC, his interest centered on industrial/organizational psychology. His courses, such as Psychology of the Stock Market, Leadership, Theories of Personality, and Group Process & Personal Growth were very popular with the students. This scholarship endowment fund has been created by his wife, Carole Lovinger, as a tribute to her late husband.
